Fantastic stay, already recommended to my friends who are visiting japan soon.
Pros:

The hotel was so peaceful, room was sparkling clean and spacious, the bed was so comfortable.

Cons:

Its close to the road, so you hear traffic a little, but they provide ear plugs. Its a little away from touristy area.

Clean room, quiet, very friendly and helpful staff. Bathroom is tiny but manageable. Mind the step !
Pros:

Very peaceful and friendly. Once you figure out the shortest way to the subway stop it is great. Fun neighborhood once you leave the street on which the hotel Is located. It takes 2 minutes !

Great location, quiet yet walkable, with lovely staff
Pros:

Lovely traditional style hotel! Very VERY attentive staff, much-needed veggies at breakfast, and a very comfortable room. Good location easily walkable to namba and dotonburi (about 20-30 mins), but quiet at night, which was lovely :)

Cons:

The only thing that was a bit weird was that the light switches shine quite bright green when the lights are turned off - and they are right next to the head of the bed. We ended up putting some tape over them to dampen the light.

Experience calm and serenity in this unique hotel
Pros:

This calm oasis in busy Osaka was a true gem. The room was cozy with a private Japanese style bathroom, and provided yukatas and slippers to wear in the hotel (like for breakfast or just relaxing). As a Buddhist hotel, the breakfast food was all vegetarian Japanese style, so delicious, and different dishes each day. We took the free zazen meditation in the hotel with the local Buddhist priest in English which was delightful, and we also did the shabutsu (tracing Buddha with ink and brush). The staff were so helpful with storing luggage, ordering taxis, providing us with special black silica stones for our bath, and explaining all the special features for our stay.

Cons:

It was all fantastic!
